24. A small source emits sound waves which are spherical. The intensity of the sound wave measured at a distance r = 3.0 m from the source is I = 5 W/m². At what distance from the source would the intensity be one-fourth as much as it is at r = 3.0 m?

4.5 m
6.0 m
12.0 m
9.0 m

25. Consider a system of two point masses M₂ and M₂, with M₁ = 0.5 M₂. The two masses are located on the x-y plane as shown in the figure below.

Which one of the following alternatives indicates the position of center of mass of the system?

(163,113)cm" > $(\frac{16}{3}, \frac{11}{3}) cm$
(113,163)cm" > $(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{16}{3}) cm$
(5,4) cm" > $(5, 4) cm$
(53,73)cm" > $(\frac{5}{3}, \frac{7}{3}) cm$

26. What is the acceleration due to gravity at an altitude twice the radius of the Earth? (g_E, is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth).

3gE" > $3 g_{E}$
gE4" > $\frac{g_{E}}{4}$
gE3" > $\frac{g_{E}}{3}$
gE9" > $\frac{g_{E}}{9}$
